my daughter slept with me for 3 years and when she transitioned into her own room, (she was actually excited about this b/c she got her own room when i married her adoptive step dad, and she'd always had to share with me before) she kept a sleeping bag and pillow on a windowseat next to our bed that was open for her use whenever she wanted it. she used it alot after little brother was born, he slept in a crib next to our bed, and in our bed when i fell asleep breast feeding him) but soon discovered that she got a better nights sleep a room away from baby brother's cry and daddy's snoring! our son, her baby brother, now 3, prefers to climb in bed with big sis when he's not happy in his own room, rather than climb into our bed...and honestly, when my hubby eats something that gives him gas, i climb in bed with one of the kids too!
